Gender on the Borderlands, a two-day history conference (July 12-14, 2001) invites proposals that explore gender in the geographic region that becomes the Spanish/Mexican/ U.S. Borderlands, now the Mexico-U.S. Border. Proposals may focus on any period and on any gender-centered subject in the history of this region, from studies of gender in Native American societies before contact with Europeans, to research and studies of gender in the contemporary post-modern era of transnationalism and globalization

The study of gender, still a relatively new area in historical research of this region, is recasting epistemologic, methodologic, analytic, and interpretive categories in multiple fields of history and interdisciplinary studies. We welcome proposals for panels, roundtables and workshops on all aspects of the historical and intersiciplinary study of gender on the borderlands, including proposals for curriculum development and pedagogy.

Please send an abstract (250 words) and a one-page vita for each participant in proposed panel, roundtable, or workshop to: Antonia Castañeda * Gender on the Borderlands Conference * St. Mary’s University * One Camino Santa Maria, Box 46 * San Antonio, TX 78228. For more information, send email to: acastane@alvin.stmarytx.edu, or see Gender on the Borderlands Conference web page: http://ats.stmarytx.edu/~bdlands/
